Marriage Intention*31 March 1753An intention of marriage for Bethia (Hayward) Harris and Robert Latham was recorded on 31 March 1753 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).4 
Marriage17 April 1753She married second widower Robert Latham, son of Chilton Latham and Susanna Kingman, on 17 April 1753 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). The vital records of Bridgewater noted the date of their intention as 31 Mar 1753 and the date of their marriage as 17 Apr 1752. Since Robert's first wife died on Apr 20 1752, this researcher thinks Robert and Bethia actually married on 17 Apr 1753 and that the marriage was dated or transcribed incorrectly in the Bridgewater records.1,4,5 
Death*29 August 1778She died on 29 August 1778 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), at age 62.5,6

Baptism*17 March 1733/34Ebenezer Hayward was baptized on 17 March 1733/34 in East Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).2,3 
Guardianship*He was 16 years old when his father died in June of 1750 leaving him land, personal property and money. Ebenezer's uncle, Josiah Hayward, was appointed his Guardian.4 
Occupation*Ebenezer Howard, as he was known in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), was a stonecutter and carver of gravestones.5 
Relationship Note*Ebenezer was fourteen years younger than his cousin Nathan Hayward, and it is likely that Ebenezer learned to carve gravestones in his cousin Nathan's shop in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). Nathan's face-with-wings design appears to have been the inspiration for the design which Ebenezer developed in the early 1760s.5 
Marriage*9 February 1764He married Mary Hastings, daughter of Samuel Hastings and Hepzibah Dana, on 9 February 1764 in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).5 
Name-Spellings The surnames of HAYWARD, HAWARD and HOWARD were often used interchangeably in southeastern Massachusetts, and all seem to have been pronounced "Howard."6 
Residence*The Bridgewater History source noted that Ebenezer Hayward went to Rindge, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.2
